Mr.. G. N. Grisham went down to
Tusculum Friday to deliver the annual
address for the Philologian Society Of
the college. Mr.. G. expressed himself
to us as highly pleased with the atten-
tons shown him by the faculty and stu.
dents of the institution, and desires us to
express his thanks for the same. Be-
tween three and four hundred persons
were present on the occasion. The ex-
ercises were of o highly interesting and
pleasing character, aud included some
fine music. The new college building,
which is nearing completion, Is one of
the finest of Its character in the state.
Miss Murphy can furnish 'heaps" of
fun for Valentine parties. Look at her
stock.
The protracted meeting, which was
mentioned last week as being In progress
in-thc 9Th district, closed Sunday night.
A deep earnestness seems to have pre-
vailed among the people, and while there
was an absence of the excitement FIRE
quently witnessed during revival meet
ings, there can be no doubt that there
has been a great revival of the faith and
much good has been done in the commu-
nifty. There were 80 conversions and
eleven persons were received for baptism,
which will take place some time in the
near future when they will be received
into fellowship in the Jonesboro Baptis
Church.

There are parents raising up childr'
within two miles of the graded school
: this place. who will have a fearful !
sponsibility resting upon them at Il
g judgment day. For four years one
The best schools in the State has be-
i open, and free of tuition, for nine mont
in the year, to all the children of u
r civil district; yet, over N hundred
the children entitled to attend have new
entered the school buildings. The i'd
d that children from the country cam
IL dress we'll enough to come to school
town, is q SANDER on the intelligence
!, the age. Yet, this is the only argume
4 some parents have for denying til,
children the benefit of this cxcelle
school. We hope by another year Il
prejudice will all disappear and that I
entire scholastic population may be
q rolled.

" sell will, we understand, confne her br
Z ness here more strictly to the millin'
u line than formerly and we are satisf
that the people will appreciate her
terprise and take advantage Of her ex
rience to even o greater extent in the
ture than in the past. The Nashy
ed house will in no way interfere with
to business here. 1t will be managed

yes greet that the enterprise will con
m Messrs. Eugene and Dick to leave
l., we wish them, along with the new
terprise, abundant success;
